Project Description
Big Box DD is situated within Detroit’s historic Eastern Market industrial district, and connected to the riverfront by the immediately adjoining Dequindre Cut Greenway. The project seeks to expand upon the City’s rich history of innovation and ingenuity, instituting emergent concepts in pop-up retail, street food, and creative workspace in a shared environment. Aimed to strengthen the identity of this famed community, comprised of a unique mix of public art, industrial uses, and one of the City’s most celebrated public spaces, the project picks up on these contextual cues, amplifying porosity, open space, social activity, and creative interaction, while catalyzing an innovative community and future use.
